This is probably a silly question but I wouldn’t mind a bit of piece of mind on this topic.

On my first outing with my boyfriend here, we got beeped at for holding hands. Should I be concerned with being open around here?

I know there’s idiots everywhere but I just don’t want to feel like I’m pissing people off 😣

Did lol.

Wer’e.

I’m looking for a good hairdresser that is maybe a little more alternative in their style of colours and cuts? Think wolf cuts/edgier hair styles? One that will actually listen to what I want would be great lol Any suggestions? Happy to go anywhere on the Central Coast! Thank youuuuu in advance

Sad to see the owner of this awesome restaurant passed away. His food was amazing and possibly the best gnocci I ever had.

Got the 532pm from Central this arvo and to my horror, apart from extra stops to Gossie, it was a bloody Oscar. Anyone noticed if they're running these for 532 each day now? Are they still using the good old V Class at 503 or are these Oscars now also? Not only extra stops but hopefully not dropping the V Class sets for these pieces of rubbish.

Out of towner here, have a colleague who is a legend and lives near North Avoca and want to buy him a voucher to a nice restaurant. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone know where any lie down or stand up solariums are on the coast? Thankyou. Pls PM me.

I haven't been up to the coast for a while, but the "welcome to the central coast" signs have Gosford covered up. Is that a new thing?

According to New South Wales rules, drivers must yield to those already on the roundabout. If one incompetent ute driver reads this I'll be happy. There are too many of these trolls on our roads.

From NSW transport:

When you approach a roundabout, you must slow down or stop to give way to all vehicles already in the roundabout. This means giving way to vehicles already in the roundabout on your right, and vehicles that have entered the roundabout from your left or from directly opposite you.

Just gone to Coles Kincumber for our weekly shop and only half of the tiny self-serve tills were open, with most of the doors closed! It also felt that there were about four members of staff in the whole shop, whereas normally there are dozens shelf stacking. Made the whole experience very off-putting but rather horrible for the staff that were there as well. Has anyone else noticed these practices creeping in?

Hi,

I’d love to ask some questions about CCSC from parents who’ve got kids there or previously attended. Mainly in regard to primary school. I’ve done the tour but forgot to ask a few things and would like a parents insight:

• are there opportunities to try coding or other technology?
• do the kids still do art and is there a library?
• are their issues with bullying and how do the teachers respond to bullying?
• what’s it like being a parent at the school?
• given there are more male than female students, are the boys respectful of the female students?

Thanks so much!!!

Hey Coasties,

Been living up here since the middle of the year so have only received 2 waters bills, and have no real context about what the average is roughly! Our latest quarterly bill has come in at $366…which seems steep.

What’s the average around the coast? We’re a small family, 2 adults and a toddler.

Anybody who usually commutes by train to the city - what are you doing?

WFH, driving, car pooling?

Hi all, has anyone been there recently? We have been invited down to check it out but one of the party uses a 4 wheeled walker. Can they get around to see a bit of the falls without doing the stairs?

I’m looking for a tattoo artist to design my sleeve. Im looking for a feminine nature vibe. Will also need someone who can work with/around my older tattoos.

Here's some context. I'm looking to get a master bedroom + ensuite painted. I got a quote and it was $600 (inclusive of $200 for materials). The guy said it would be a half days work.

Now I might be mistaken but this sounds like he is getting $80 an hour in labor costs. And I am saying again, I might be wrong, which is why I am asking reddit.

Is this a reasonable quote? What should I be expecting as a quote for such a job? What aspects of a painting job would a lay person know nothing about?

Only kind comments please. I only wish to gain some insight on the wonderful world of trades. EDIT: Thanks to all the positive comments. Have gotten the job done for 600.

Can anyone explain why so few people in the CC park their cars in the driveway but prefer to park in narrow streets?

Does anyone know what all those black boxes that are on power poles, bus stops and other poles along the pacific hwy from lisarow to Wyoming?

Does anyone know anywhere on the coast that services/fixes typewriters? I bought a typewriter for my 8yo as a Christmas present, and I can’t get the space bar to function. (Boomer I bought it off on fb marketplace told me it worked too - I asked twice- so not stoked) Many thanks 🌻

Was wondering if anyone had any bad experiences at Service NSW Tuggerah? Specifically any of the Driving Test instructors? I recently had a experience with the male instructor, who swore at me during my test (possibly causing me to fail), and slammed my car door as he got out of the car, after remarking "Thanks for that,". I've since heard some similar experiences, but wanted some recounts from people who aren't upset on my behalf.

Hi

Just like the title says, looking for a physio who specialises in running in the Central Coast. Preferably close to East Gosford but I don't mind driving.

Edit: thanks everyone for the suggestions!

My 12 year old cat has pretty badly matted fur on her flanks and I can’t get it out, I assume she’ll have to be sedated for whatever procedure they do. Do you know of any decent vets on the Coast that offer this service and aren’t crazy expensive?

Hey everyone. Looking to see if anyone had any old 7 inch vinyl singles or 45 rpm records , for the uninitiated the small ones, that they are looking to get rid off or sell off. Also looking to see if anyone who knows where I can find them in shops locally too. Picked up a 1884 AMI Rowe jukebox recently and looking to fill the 100 selections it has with some quality vinyl.
